This Monmouth County, NJ spot has one of the best veal parms

For several years, Producer Kristen has been telling me that Jodi and I would love a restaurant called Anjelica's in Sea Bright. She. Was. Right.

We joined our friends Jon and Debbie this week for a 7:30 p.m. dinner at the iconic Ocean Avenue location that has been satisfying customers for the past 27 years. From the minute we were greeted by the host, Oscar, to the friendly and professional service from Carlos at the table, we knew we were in the right place.

We decided to share plates so we could try more dishes. Of course, Jon and Debbie are regulars so we left it to them to take charge of the ordering.

We started with the chopped salad

and roasted cauliflower with creme fraiche and ricotta.

The mains followed and were equally perfect. A Meyer lemon pasta,

family meatballs,

and of course the bone in veal parm.

Great staff, presentation, service, and taste. We will be back.
